Sometimes the expressions of people at a coffee shop are kinda funny...People intensely working while jacked up on too much coffee--which makes you more distracted than usual.
(I didn't realize what a scene it is at Philz Coffee in Berkeley in the evening.)
Face screwed up, intently looking at papers....OOOOH. workin' hard.
This happened with me a couple weeks ago. I was trying to finish a freakin' paper, and I kept drinking coffee...and I don't know that it helped me to focus, because it took me much longer than usual to finish it. I don't know if it was just the coffee or trying to figure out which information to cull, because I had done a lot of research, but it didn't flow like I was used to.
This could also do with the disruption of my mind from the migraine medication. Butterbur extract was so much less affective than the topamirate (which turned out to help me not at all), but it still disrupted my cognitive function and ability to write. ...I wonder if I am slightly ADHD. I was listening to teenagers talk about it, and ...oh, pretty! look, sparkley!
Anyway, someone (my neurologist?) said, "I don't know if you're normally this hyper," which was funny to me because I don't usually think of myself as hyperactive. However, after listening to the teens talk about being ADHD, I think there is a little bit there. Keeping tabs on it.
I'm going to write more about migraines. I started to while I was taking the topamirate, and I could not write anymore! It is something I no longer take for granted.
